A new Data Science School of Distinction banner has gone up at the Wake Young Men`s Leadership Academy! From 2025 to 2026, Shannon Hardy, a Math teacher at the Academy, participated in our yearlong "The Why of Statistics" professional development cohort, led by Emily Hector.
This cohort supported teachers of grades 9-12 in building their own data fluency while creating classroom-ready activities that develop students’ critical thinking with data. Through hands-on workshops, collaborative lesson design and real-world data investigations, the teachers explored ways to enhance their students` statistical thinking, data science skills, bias recognition and more.

With help from the Wolfpack, DSA developed the AI at NC State website, a central hub for AI resources and guidance on campus. Explore a range of AI tools, resources and guidance designed to support and enhance your teaching, learning, research and work.
“I would encourage any NC State student curious about data science and AI to take a DSA class. The courses are approachable and focus less on heavy technical pressure and more on building a clear understanding of data science and AI concepts. It’s a great way to explore the field while developing both technical and problem-solving skills.”
